Investment in renewable energy has increased worldwide, according to officials at the Abu DhabiSustainabilityWeek.
They say the falling cost of renewables is making them more competitive as an energy source.
STORY-LINE:
The Middle East and oil are inextricably linked - but renewable energy is the hot topic in the UAE today.
Robots capable of cleaning vast commercial solar power plants are just one of the products on display at the World Future Energy Summit exhibition.
Investment in the sector has increased drastically around the world, according to officials gathered for Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
"305 billion dollars, US, of investment in renewable energy in 2015. That's something to celebrate in terms of transformation of the world." says Peter Thomson, President of the General Assembly at the United Nations.
One of the main drivers for such a high level of investment is the decreasing cost of renewable energy.
"In the last six years solar PV prices have fallen between 80 and 90 percent worldwide, onshore wind has come down by almost 40 percent, offshore wind by 30 percent," says Adnan Z. Amin, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
He says renewables are becoming "cost competitive" compared to more traditional energy sources.
Prior to the start of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, Dubai announced its 2050 energy strategy. By then they envision that 44 percent of their energy will come from renewables, and they will decarbonise by 70 percent.
But the UAE still has one of the highest carbon footprints in the world.
According to the 2015 UAE State of EnergyReport, which was published by the government, as of 2010 the UAE produced almost 20 tonnes of CO2 emissions per capita. But Zamin says the UAE is on the right path.
"I am so impressed by the vision of an oil producing country that actually looks at economic diversification and a low carbon future in the way that the UAE is doing," he says.
The IRENA General Assembly, the World Future Energy Summit and the InternationalWaterSummit are all part of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
The WorldFuture Energy summit runs until 19 January.
Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week finishes on 21 January.

A report from the International Energy Agency, the West's energy watchdog, said on Monday that solar energy could be the top source of electricity by 2050, aided by plummeting costs of the equipment to generate it.
IEA Reports said solar photovoltaic systems could generate up to 16 percent of the world's electricity by 2050, while solar thermal electricity - from "concentrating" solar power plants - could provide a further 11 percent.
IEA Executive DirectorMaria van der Hoeven said, "The rapid cost decrease of photovoltaic modules and systems in the last few years has opened new perspectives for using solar energy as a major source of electricity in the coming years and decades.".Solar photovoltaic panels constitute the fastest growing renewable energy technology in the world since 2000, although solar is still less than 1 percent of energy capacity worldwide.
The IEA said PV expansion would be led by China, followed by the United States, while STE could also grow in the United States along with Africa, India and the Middle East.

Renewable Energy Certificates, also known as RECs, represent the environmental and other non-power attributes of renewable electricity generation and are a component of all renewable electricity products. RECs are measured in single megawatt–hour increments and are created at the point of electric generation. Each REC represents a specific amount of electricity produced and delivered to the power grid by a renewable resource such as wind or solar. RECs have become an important tool for the renewable electricity market. This video address common questions and concerns about the role and benefits of RECs.

Based on REN21's 2014 report, renewables contributed 19 percent to humans' global energy consumption and 22 percent to their generation of electricity in 2012 and 2013, respectively. This energy consumption is divided as 9% coming from traditional biomass, 4.2% as heat energy (non-biomass), 3.8% hydro electricity and 2% is electricity from wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$214 billion in 2013, with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels.

Energy (signal processing)

Relationship to energy in physics

Energy in this context is not, strictly speaking, the same as the conventional notion of energy in physics and the other sciences. The two concepts are, however, closely related, and it is possible to convert from one to the other:

For example, if x(t) represents the potential (in volts) of an electrical signal propagating across a transmission line, then Z would represent the characteristic impedance (in ohms) of the transmission line. The units of measure for the signal energy would appear as volt2·seconds, which is not dimensionally correct for energy in the sense of the physical sciences. After dividing by Z, however, the dimensions of E would become volt2·seconds per ohm, which is equivalent to joules, the SI unit for energy as defined in the physical sciences.

The track was released as the first single from the singer's debut in the United States on May 27, 2008. Although being released worldwide it initially only charted in New Zealand at number two and only managed to reach top thirty on the U.S. BillboardHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Dance Club Play charts.

Generally well received by music critics, it was named sixty-first on The Top 144 Songs of 2008 listing by Blender magazine.

Background

"Energy" was written and produced by The Runaways. It was also recorded by The Runaways at Homesite 13 studios in Novato, California. and Hilson stated that she wanted to prove that she can be successful even without collaborations and guest vocalists and so it was announced "Energy" would be released as the next worldwide single following the success of "Knock You Down". The song was released on September 14, 2009 in the UK. On September 25, 2009 she appeared live on breakfast TV show GMTV in the UK where she performed the single. That same day, she appeared on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge where she performed a stripped version of "Energy" as well as a gospel cover version of "Supernova" originally sung by Mr Hudson and Kanye West.

Critical reception

"Energy" received acclaim from music critics with many calling it the best song of the album. Ryan Dombal of Pitchfork gave the song a positive review and named it "Best New Track", stating "The song isn't aimed to any rappers or pop stars, not Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean or Tyga, but the song lines are dangerous."

Music video

Release

The video of "Energy" was released on Apple Music and users with iTunes and registered Apple Music account can watch this video.

Synopsis

International Energy Agency

The International Energy Agency (IEA; French:Agence internationale de l'énergie) is a Paris-based autonomous intergovernmental organization established in the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 1974 in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis. The IEA was initially dedicated to responding to physical disruptions in the supply of oil, as well as serving as an information source on statistics about the international oil market and other energy sectors.

The IEA acts as a policy adviser to its member states, but also works with non-member countries, especially China, India, and Russia. The Agency's mandate has broadened to focus on the "3Es" of effectual energy policy: energy security, economic development, and environmental protection. The latter has focused on mitigating climate change. The IEA has a broad role in promoting alternate energy sources (including renewable energy), rational energy policies, and multinational energy technology co-operation.

Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi (US /ˈɑːbuːˈdɑːbi/, UK /ˈæbuːˈdɑːbi/; Arabic:أبو ظبي‎Abū ẒabīEmirati pronunciation[ɐˈbuˈðˤɑbi]) is the capital and the second most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (the most populous being Dubai), and also capital of Abu Dhabi emirate, the largest of the UAE's seven member emirates. Abu Dhabi lies on a T-shaped island jutting into the Persian Gulf from the central western coast. The city proper had a population of 1.5 million in 2014.

Abu Dhabi houses federal government offices, is the seat of the United Arab Emirates Government, home to the Abu Dhabi Emiri Family and the President of the UAE, who is from this family. Abu Dhabi's rapid development and urbanisation, coupled with the relatively high average income of its population, has transformed the city into a large and advanced metropolis. Today the city is the country's center of political and industrial activities, and a major cultural and commercial centre, due to its position as the capital. Abu Dhabi accounts for about two-thirds of the roughly $400-billion United Arab Emirates economy.

"I am so impressed by the vision of an oil producing country that actually looks at economic diversification and a low carbon future in the way that the UAE is doing," he says.
The IRENA General Assembly, the World Future Energy Summit and the InternationalWaterSummit are all part of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
The WorldFuture Energy summit runs until 19 January.
Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week finishes on 21 January.

LEAD IN:
Investment in renewable energy has increased worldwide, according to officials at the Abu DhabiSustainabilityWeek.
They say the falling cost of renewables is making them more competitive as an energy source.
STORY-LINE:
The Middle East and oil are inextricably linked - but renewable energy is the hot topic in the UAE today.
Robots capable of cleaning vast commercial solar power plants are just one of the products on display at the World Future Energy Summit exhibition.
Investment in the sector has increased drastically around the world, according to officials gathered for Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
"305 billion dollars, US, of investment in renewable energy in 2015. That's something to celebrate in terms of transformation of the world." says Peter Thomson, President of the General Assembly at the United Nations.
One of the main drivers for such a high level of investment is the decreasing cost of renewable energy.
"In the last six years solar PV prices have fallen between 80 and 90 percent worldwide, onshore wind has come down by almost 40 percent, offshore wind by 30 percent," says Adnan Z. Amin, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
He says renewables are becoming "cost competitive" compared to more traditional energy sources.
Prior to the start of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, Dubai announced its 2050 energy strategy. By then they envision that 44 percent of their energy will come from renewables, and they will decarbonise by 70 percent.
But the UAE still has one of the highest carbon footprints in the world.

A report from the International Energy Agency, the West's energy watchdog, said on Monday that solar energy could be the top source of electricity by 2050, aided by plummeting costs of the equipment to generate it.
IEA Reports said solar photovoltaic systems could generate up to 16 percent of the world's electricity by 2050, while solar thermal electricity - from "concentrating" solar power plants - could provide a further 11 percent.
IEA Executive DirectorMaria van der Hoeven said, "The rapid cost decrease of photovoltaic modules and systems in the last few years has opened new perspectives for using solar energy as a major source of electricity in the coming years and decades.".Solar photovoltaic panels constitute the fastest growing renewable energy technology in the world since 2000, although solar is still less than 1 percent of energy capacity worldwide.
The IEA said PV expansion would be led by China, followed by the United States, while STE could also grow in the United States along with Africa, India and the Middle East.

The IEA said PV expansion would be led by China, followed by the United States, while STE could also grow in the United States along with Africa, India and the Middle East.

Based on REN21's 2014 report, renewables contributed 19 percent to humans' global energy consumption and 22 percent to their generation of electricity in 2012 and 2013, respectively. This energy consumption is divided as 9% coming from traditional biomass, 4.2% as heat energy (non-biomass), 3.8% hydro electricity and 2% is electricity from wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$214 billion in 2013, with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels.
